Do I need to provide my NHS records and/or medical history?Your medical history is important. You can usually access your NHS records through the NHS app, or by asking your NHS GP. If you are unable to provide your NHS records, we will discuss your history with you and make detailed notes in our records.

What is a private prescription and why can’t I have an NHS prescription?The difference between a private prescription and an NHS prescription is how the pharmacy will charge you. With an NHS prescription, you will pay a standard prescription charge of £9.65 and no further cost for the medication. With a private prescription, you will pay the cost of the medication. Prices for medication can vary from one pharmacy to the next. As a private GP service, we can only write private prescriptions. This means you will need to pay for the medication.
